Template + tools for getting C++ homework done quick.
All these scripts utilize unix tools so being on a linux VM is almost required unless you're running cmder or cygwin on Windows which you can get here or here respectively.

git clone https://github.com/Xetera/CPPTemplate.git mycoolhomework -
cd mycoolhomework
That's it, you're good to go!
If necessary, place new .cpp files inside src/ and .h files inside include/ or better yet just use generate.sh to generate them automatically.
If you would like a reusable shell file to clone new projects in a folder without each individual folder being a git repo clone you can make
a file called create_project.sh and put it in the root to reuse.
if [[ -z "$1" ]]; then
echo "Must specify a folder name"
exit 1
fi
# cloned git repos are still a copy of the original owner
# and makes it difficult to add to other git repos so
# we just delete the .git folder to make it easier to commit a project folder
git clone https://github.com/Xetera/CPPTemplate.git "$1" && rm -rf "$1/.git"you can then use bash create_project.sh my_project to make a new folder and delete the git repo
If you wish to use the scripts as executables instead of doing bash run.sh every time you can run the command chmod +x run.sh which will let you do ./run.sh which is a lot more convenient.
Generates new .h/.cpp file combinations in the right folders with the following placeholders.
// src/file.cpp
#include "file.h"
// include/file.h
#pragma once- Filename: the name you want to give to the file
bash run.sh [Filename]
Runs the latest compiled file and copies the output to a .txt file without using the script command. The file is deleted on each command usage.
bash run.sh
Compresses relevant files into a tar.gz file for easy submission on canvas.
- src/*
- include/*
- Makefile
- *.scr
- Filename: the name you want to give to the file (not including the extension) optional; homework.tar.gz by default
bash zip.sh [Filename]
